Angela's PaperArts: Father's Day explosion box

 I'm getting ready for Father's Day this weekend and made this Explosion Box card for my Dad.

When the lid of the box is removed the card sides fall down and the message is revealed. 

I created a 'toolbox' to go in the middle of the card which will be filled before Father's Day. You can easily add chocolates, money or other small gifts inside the toolbox.

Here's a close-up of the centre of the card with the toolbox.

These cards are simple to make but look so effective. You simply need a 12"x12"/30.5x30.5cm piece of cardstock scored every 4"/10.16cm and you cut out the four corners. To make a lid for the box you make it a smidge wider than 4"/10.16cm. It can be decorated to suit any occasion.

I've used a variety of products on this card including Stampin' Up!'s Geared Up Garage stamp/die bundle and cardstock, Scrapbook Fantasies Robot Antics patterned paper, tag & chipboard and Snazzi Scrappin's 'Happy Father's Day' die.

Thanks for visiting.
